SEMI / SEMATECH Presents: 3D Interconnect Challenges and Need for Standards Workshop

Media Partner

Event Code: 3DICSN
July 13, 2010
1:00pm–5:00pm
San Francisco Marriott Marquis

3D integration using TSV interconnects is creating many new challenges for the semiconductor industry. Metrology, overlay alignment, thin wafer handling and other TSV processes are among the list of concerns that are high priority for robust high volume manufacturing. As these solutions are implemented, a whole host of new problems may arise due to collision with our present equipment, materials and processes.

A key to the success and early adoption of 3D TSV manufacturing is improved factory productivity through standardized equipment, materials and processes. It is through this standardization that the industry can achieve the technological and economical goals of this emerging technology.

This workshop will provide the vision, progress to date, and solicit concern areas for 3D TSV integration, as well as identify the areas of variance between existing solutions and proposed/ anticipated solutions. It is anticipated that participants will also be prepared to share their thoughts and experiences dealing with TSV connected die and wafers.

Workshop Goals: In addition to technical exchange and constructive discussion and problem solving, the target is to identify one or several areas of standardization. At the conclusion, the goal is to identify participants willing to provide guidance and support with the development of new standards.
